5/6 To analyze this, we use AmericasBarometer 2016–2017 data from 18 countries and a Double/Debiased Machine Learning strategy, which allows us to estimate causal effects with data of this kind.

4/6 This is important because pigmentocracy is often discussed as if the color gradient worked in the same way everywhere. Our argument is that racial hierarchies must also be read through specific national histories.

3/6 The central point of the paper is that skin color matters, but it does not operate in the same way across Latin America. Its effect on education also depends on the historically shaped ethnoracial configurations of each society.

2/6 The question we address is simple, but sociologically very relevant: how does skin color shape educational opportunities? In particular, we wanted to observe not only whether there is a penalty, but also how it varies across countries.

1/6 I am glad to share that our article “Beyond Pigmentocracy”, co-authored with Mauricio Salgado, has now been published in Frontiers in Sociology. It is a paper about skin color, education, and inequality in Latin America.
